It's official: Obama will back a filibuster of any Senate FISA legislation containing telecom immunity, his campaign has just told Election Central. The Obama campaign has just sent over the following statement from spokesman Bill Burton:

"To be clear: Barack will support a filibuster of any bill that includes retroactive immunity for telecommunications companies."

Further proof that B. Hussein Obama is going after the Islamoterrorist vote.

B. Hussein Obama once again sides with the terrorists... even some House Democrats actually took the pro-USA side of this debate.

Is he friends with these terrorists too?

[Ken522]

Isn’t he a little bit late? Didn’t the President sign legislation protecting the telecoms from prosecution .. so that means the Senate already had to approve it. Am I missing something?

[rawhide]

Obama seeking the terrorists vote?

[Ken522]

My mistake - the House approved it, but the Senate hasn’t yet. Sorry.

Obama had them fainting again at this morning's appearance in Sweet Apple, Ohio, where he addressed a crowd of Hillary voters in an attempt to gain their support.

Must-see video

What all is Oabama against? Anyone want to start a list?

Obama is against:

* Drilling for oil

* Lower Gas Prices

* Lower food prices

* Lower taxes

* Maintaining jobs

This means that Mr. Obama might support an ex-post facto law retroactively criminalizing acts by the telecoms. Of course, this type of law is expressly forbidden by the U.S. Constitution, but according to the left, it's a "living document" that means whatever they say it means.

It's a Dem trifecta.

It's anti-business, pro-terrorist and pro-trial lawyer, all in one!

[beckysueb]

Obama Supports FISA Legislation, Angering Left
By Paul Kane
Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) today announced his support for a sweeping intelligence surveillance law that has been heavily denounced by the liberal activists who have fueled the financial engines of his presidential campaign.

In his most substantive break with the Democratic Party’s base since becoming the presumptive nominee, Obama declared he will support the bill when it comes to a Senate vote, likely next week, despite misgivings about legal provisions for telecommunications corporations that cooperated with the Bush administration’s warrantless surveillance program of suspected terrorists.

Guess he doesn’t need donations from any American Company now.

[GOPyouth]

Is he friends with these terrorists too?

Bill Ayers for starters.

[MindBender26]

Islamofacist and Trial Lawyers.

What a pairing!

[GOPyouth]

Further proof that B. Hussein Obama is going after the Islamoterrorist vote.

Along with the campaign taking the stance this week that Osama Bin Laden in innocent.

[ConorMacNessa]

He's also against life - supports partial-birth abortion - and is opposed to America and all that is good and holy!
